Grayscale Image Authentication using Neural Hashing

Many different approaches for neural network based hash functions have been proposed. Statistical analysis must correlate security of them. This paper proposes novel neural hashing approach for gray scale image authentication. The suggested system is rapid, robust, useful and secure. Proposed hash function generates hash values using neural network one-way property and non-linear techniques. As a result security and performance analysis are performed and satisfying results are achieved. These features are dominant reasons for preferring against traditional ones.Comment: international journal of Natural and Engineering Sciences (NESciences.com) : Image Authentication, Cryptology, Hash Function, Statistical and Security Analysi

Determinants of Capital Structure in Financial Institutions: The Case of Turkey

This study analyzes the determinants of capital structure in the Turkish banking sector. We propose an empirical model in order to identify the factors that explain why banks hold capital beyond the amount required by the regulation. We used a panel data set that employs bank-level data from the Turkish banking sector covering the period 2002–2006 and estimated the model with generalized method of moments (GMM). The findings of this study suggest that lagged capital, portfolio risk, economic growth, average capital level of the sector and return on equity are positively correlated with capital adequacy ratio and share of deposits are negatively correlated with capital adequacy ratio.Capital Adequacy, Turkish Banking Sector, GMM

Anticipated versus Unanticipated Money in Turkey

This Study investigates the validity of the policy ineffectiveness hypothesis of Rational Expectations-Natural Rate Models that only unanticipated policy changes affect real economic variables by using Turkish data over the period of 1980:I-1995:I. The procedure used to test the hypothesis is the autoregressive system introduced by McGee and Stasiak (1985). The empirical results reported in this paper imply that unanticipated monetary policy appears to play an insignificant role in improving real economic activity, and that anticipated monetary policy exerts a significant expansionary impact upon real economic activity. Such evidence for Turkey strongly rejects the policy ineffectiveness hypothesis of Rational Expectations-Natural Rate Models.anticipated unanticipated money growth sur shock

A Re-examination of Lowry’s Hypothesis for Turkish Case

Lowry’s (1966) hypothesis indicates the predominance of in-migration and the relative insignificance of out-migration with regard to the net migration rates. In the literature, there has been a body of studies which attempted to empirically test the Lowry’s proposition , following Lowrys study (Alonso, 1971, 1972; Beale, 1969a, 1969b; Cordey-Hayes and Gleave, 1973, 1975; Kriesberg and Vining, 1978; Lansing and Mueller, 1967; Plane Rogerson and Rosen, 1984; Gedik, 1992). One of the previous empirical studies was provided by Gedik (1992%29. Gedik investigated the hypothesis for Turkey during the periods of 1965-70, 1975-80 and 1980-85. Her findings were contrary to the findings for developed countries. Then, Gedik argued that in the future Turkish case will come to resemble the developed countries. The main objective of this study is to re-examine the Lowry’s hypothesis and Gedik’s argument on the hypothesis for Turkish case during the period of 1985-90. The results of this paper imply that Gedik’s argument is not valid for Turkish case, migration patterns do not approximate those estimated for the developed countries. The findings of the paper can be summarized as follows: (1) The correlation coefficient between net migration and out-migration rates was found to be –0.89 for all provinces. For provinces with net in-migration, it was found to be –0.317, but statistically insignificant. It was -0.96 for provinces with net out-migration. (2) The correlation coefficient between net migration and in-migration was 0.89 for provinces with net in-migration and 0.63 for all provinces. (3) The correlation coefficient in- and out-migration rates was –0.21 for all provinces, 0.39 for provinces with net out-migration and 0.13 for provinces with net in-migration but statistically insignificant.

Long Run Relationships between Stock Market Returns and Macroeconomic Performance: Evidence from Turkey

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether current economic activities in Turkey have explanatory power over stock returns, or not. The data used in this study are monthly stock price indexes of Istanbul Stock Exchange and a set of macroeconomic variables, including money supply, exchange rate of US Dollar, trade balance, and the industrial production index. Engel-Granger and Johansen-Juselius co-integration tests and Granger Causality test were used in the study to explain the long-run relations among variables questioned. Obtained results illustrate that stock returns is co-integrated with a set of macroeconomic variables by providing a direct long-run equilibrium relation. However, the macroeconomic variables are not the leading indicators for the stock returns, because any causal relation from macroeconomic variables to the stock returns can not be determined in sample period. Contrarily, stock returns is the leading indicator for the macroeconomic performance for the Turkish case by supporting emerging market issues.Stock Returns Macroeconomic Performance Emergency Market Cointegration Causality

Localization in smart dust sensor networks

Our research goal is to design a robust localization system that offers good accuracy even in the harsh indoor and outdoor environments by handling problems in the physical layer. In this respect, localization based on ultra-wide band (UWB) technology with time-based ranging is a good candidate because of the fine delay resolution that is provided by UWB signals

THE IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL REPORTING DURING PRIVATIZATION: TURKISH CASE

Privatization has been on a lot of countries’ agenda, especially for the emergingcountries for a long time. In Turkey, as an emerging country, privatization plan has been a veryhigh priority among the State Budget income items for three decades. To identify and to explore theaccounting role in privatization is the critical issue for the countries under privatization process. Inthis study, the importance of financial reporting during privatization process is examined. Theoverall responsibility of accounting in privatization is to develop investor confidence to channel theflows of funds and to ensure the effective and efficient use of capital funds. Therefore, without asound accountancy framework, the privatization process would not generate the desired long termeconomic, social, and financial development results. Therefore, we analyzed the period of Turkishprivatization experience by underlying the importance of financial reporting in this process. Forthis purpose, in the first part of the study, we defined the privatization and argued the positive andnegative opinions about it. In the second part, we clarified the role of accounting in privatizationprocess under disclosure, transitional problems, training, valuation problems, and inflationaccounting subsections. In the third part, we discussed the recent accounting developments whichmay effects privatization in Turkey. In the fourth part, we summarized the implementation ofprivatization in Turkey. Then, we mentioned the key issues in privatization process for emergingeconomies. Based on the Turkey’s privatization practices, financial reporting has a very importantrole in the SOE’s privatization process. In our point of view, since accounting has an importantrole in privatization, this role takes place before, during and also after the privatization. It shouldbe taken into consideration that the main objective of privatization is not only to privatize SOE’s,but also keep the sustainability of privatized SOE’s. While privatization creates sources for newinvestments of the governments, it should support the effectiveness and economics of goods andservices in the area of privatization. So the sustainability of privatized companies is very importantas well as their sales. All of the above purposes can be controlled by solely accounting.privatization, accounting, financial reporting, emerging economies, state owned enterprises
